In The Image of Man, noted historian George L. Mosse provides the first historical account of the masculine stereotype in
modern Western culture, tracing the evolution of the idea of manliness to reveal how it came to embody physical beauty, courage,
moral restraint, and a strong will. This stereotype, he finds, originated in the tumultuous changes of the eighteenth century,
as Europe's dominant aristocrats grudgingly yielded to the rise of the professional, bureaucratic, and commercial middle classes.
Mosse reveals how the new bourgeoisie, faced with a bewildering, rapidly industrialized world, latched onto the knightly ideal
of chivalry. And he shows how the rise of universal conscription created a soldierly man as an ideal type. In England, the
nineteenth century gave rise to an educational system that emphasized athletics, team sports, and physical strength, as did
the gymnastics movement on the continent. At the same time, ideals of a standard of masculine beauty developed throughout
the continent, intertwined with theories of art and personal comportment. Indeed, in the nineteenth century, the idea of manliness
appeared in so many areas of life and thought that it was accepted as a social constant, a permanent endowment granted by
nature. Mosse shows, however, that it continued to evolve, particularly in contrast to stereotypes of women and unmanly men
- Jews and homosexuals - all considered weak and fearful, unable to control their passions. Mosse concludes that socialism
also made use of this stereotype, while in the twentieth century Fascism took this process to its extremes - mass political
rallies glorified the fearless storm trooper as outsiders were stigmatized and persecuted

What was life like under the Third Reich? What went on between parents and children? What were the prevailing attitudes about
sex, morality, religion? How did workers perceive the effects of the New Order in the workplace? What were the cultural currents
-- in art, music, science, education, drama, and on the radio? Professor Mosse has recaptured the texture of life and thought
using selections from newspapers, novellas, plays, and diaries as well as the public announcements of Nazi leaders, churchmen,
and professors to describe National Socialism in practice and what it meant for the average German. - Back cover

In his classic study of the idealogical sources of National Socialism, George L. Mosse explores a unique complex of anti-democratic
ideas deeply embedded in German history. He traces these currents of thought though the 19th and 20th centuries to show how
a peculiarly Germanic ideology became institutionalized in the schools, youth movements, veterans' groups and political parties,
and how the "German revolution" called for by the ideology's exponents was transformed by Hitler into an "anti-Jewish revolution,"
and an effective political program as the Nazis rose to power

"Book is an excellent introduction to the main personalities and chronology of the Reformation. The coverage of Martin Luther
is brief, but the section on John Calvin and the role of Calvinism to the broader Reformation is quite good. Overall, the
book does a good job of covering the Reformation in England. Specifically, Mosse nicely reveals the interplay between religion
and politics that resulted in the theological ambiguity of Anglicanism."--Amazon.com
